| Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me. |
| nice episode so that's why some of the bad guys have superhuman strength because of Kuromitsu blood,but how they took it? |
 |
| Nice episode! The human experiments were just sick <.< crazy scientists. I wonder why doesn't Kuromitsu's blood work with all the humans they're using and many are just "waste" Lots of good scenes with Kuromitsu and Kurou, really beautiful animation. The clocks and the windows were awsome too! When the red emperors' army appeared with that music I thought "Star Wars all over it" xD |
 |
| It was weird seeing the Red army experimenting like that, using a human body just for the test and then disposing if fail. I was wondering what exactly was 'snapping' if you know what I mean. Seems like the geezer from ep2 is still alive, if he's looking for immortality, wouldn't you think he already has it? He just wants a younger body since his seems like it's falling apart. I liked the whip action from the evil guy. I can't wait for the next episode.. CLIFHANGER ... "Give me my katana" (PWN them Kuro !!) PS: I love the artwork! |
 MAL list updates |
| Interesting episode, the experiments were a little twisted, but I think most people would have gotten accustomed to that from previous episodes xD. Nest episode is going to be awesome =D him getting his Katana and going all "vampire mode" or whatever on those Red army guys xD! |
| Love the episode. I love the anime how the series never make sense to me but the plot still keep progress. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| The experiments at the start were quite vile, but again a good episode and can't wait for the next. |
 |
| Guy! The scientific experiments was very horrible! The episode finished in the best part, a fight started! |
 |
| The direction and art are still as awesome as usual, but the last two episodes were really slow, I hope the pace will quicken a bit in the next episodes. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| The human test subjects and the headless horse hallucination we're... sick, in a good way. [: The scene with Kuro and Kuromitsu in the field of phosphorescence flowers was beautiful and touching. I'm not liking Kuon one bit. The story is progressing nicely. I love the confusion, it will all make sense hopefully at the end, patience.. I'm enjoying the ride. |

| Just re-watched 1-3 and watched 4-5. I'm now going to try to make sure I watch every episode weekly. I'm starting to wonder, with this only being 13 episodes long, if it'll ever make sense. We've gone from two monks on the run from monsters in ancient Japan to vampires fighting against an army that kills and experiments on humans, with very little in the way of explanations provided. And with Kuromitsu flashbacks thrown around to add to the confusion, it's headache inducing stuff if you want to comprehend the events. The Benkei mystery as still as mysterious as it was in EP2 due to it not being mentioned since the end of EP2, although I'm fairly certain the whole Benkei samurai section was part of the brainwashing he received and not something that actually occurred. I'm guessing the evil Russian guy (well, he looks Russian to me!) who owned Kuro at the end of EP3 is Benkei the 7th, but that's mainly because his upper face is covered and every well-built baddie seems to be Benkei. Talking of identity guessing, Saniwa looks very much like an older version of Kuromitsu. Same sort of clothing, same sort of hair-style, and she's supposedly had Kuromitsu confide in her. The only holes in my (fairly obvious) theory right now are Saniwa's eye colour and why she'd need to ask Kuro a question in order to confirm his identity. Of course, the two women looking similar could be a coincidence, just like the dead guy at the end of EP1 looking like Benkei was. Anyway, even though I have only a vague understanding of the story, I'm enjoying the series a lot. It has great production values, and it even has an awesome yellow/green/red 'bullet time' effect that makes the action sequences more exciting. Madhouse are godly. |

YEAH that Saniwa is mysterious and I though like you that she does have some connection directly to Kuromitsu. |

| as confusing as usual.... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Personally I thought that was a rather boring episode. The next episode looks like it's gonna be crazy though so I cant wait. |
^)^ DeathfireD ^)^ Anime Alliance P2P Network *OPEN FOR NEW MEMBERS* |
| Nice episode even though, the human experiments were just sick. Lots of good scenes with Kuromitsu and Kuro. The plot still keep progress, and that's good enough for me watch more. |
| Ugh I don't know why I decided to eat while watching the beginning of this episode. It made me feel sick Dx Anyway I'd probably understand more if I watch this all together (just watched 3-5 in a row) so I'll probably wait until it finishes airing before watching more. Though my curiosity might get the better of me... |
 |
| Ending was good, I'm pumped for the next episode! |
 |
| So I'm guessing that Kuromitsu is dead/ that ball of blood or whatever in the middle of that machine that that dude was watching over. o.o Next episode looks like it'll have a decent bit of action in it so... yay? :D Personally I'm loving this so far. |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| The better question is, where are they getting all of that "Kuromitsu" blood for the human experiments? Are they somehow synthesizing it or they just bleed her dry and let her eat the people that fail? |
Gaming dabblings: iRO Chaos, US Pangya, iRO Valkyrie, KR Pangya *^will fix this monstrosity later* |
| I need to find the episode then. :) |

| Man everyone in this show has hard core chickenlegs and really tiny feet. |
| I don't know karate, but I know karazy |
| Well those sure are some weird experiments that they're doing. Curious to find out how they got so much blood from Kuromitsu. The animation in a lot of the scenes is just amazing. |
wakka9ca said: I don't see why. There are just a few things they haven't told us. If you want something easier to understand you can watch slice of life ^^as confusing as usual.... |
| w0w real gross episode >.> |

 |
| when he said "Karuta.... My sword" I was like : Damn right! some ass-kicking is going down! |
ballistique said: Man everyone in this show has hard core chickenlegs and really tiny feet. Haha, I thought the same |
| Everytime I see an important woman - Rai or Saniwa in this episode, I keep thinking it's Kuromitsu ... :P Anyhow, interesting episode with the human experiments. I'm almost sure Benkei is going to make an appearance anytime soon. |
 |
| It seems like all the nice places left are getting trashed fast by the Red Army. Looks like it is time to mop up the floor with some baddies next episode. |
 |
| The beginning was quite nauseating...and of course horrific, what kind of person is that. Things keep evolving so humans should die and evolve into something else. Why would anyone come to such a conclusion. Is there a benefit to evolving? If everyone became a vampire or some weird strong and super intelligent creature, I don't see how that will be any better. I wonder if we'll learn about why the antagonist thinks this way, or just simply that this is his motivation to do the things he's doing. The saniwa is interesting, having known Kuromitsu. Red Army attacking once again, ugh. |
| The ugly old dude is still alive? Why search for immortality? He clearly pretty much has it... ex husband or something? |
  |
| Very impressive development! I really love where this is going with all this intense action! Let's see what's next! |
 |
| This show seems to go from disgusting, to super intense action packed, back to disgusting. I guess this is the change I wanted from Yu Yu Hakusho, huh. |
